Cole was a pivotal figure in revolutionizing American attitudes toward wilderness, and his White Mountain paintings were central to this transformation. Christopher Johnson asserts, “Cole made the White Mountain Wilderness beautiful; and through his canvases, he taught the American public not only to see the wilderness but to value it and embrace it. Moreover, the paintings helped to establish Mount Washington and other White Mountain landmarks as highly visible symbols of the American wilderness.” (67)
